This study presents standard Cliffordian Kaehler analogue of Lagrangian mechanics. Also, the some geometric and physical results related to the standard Cliffordian Kaehler dynamical systems are given.

We study the resonant prescribed T-curvature problem on a compact 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold with boundary. We derive sharp energy and gradient estimates of the associated Euler-Lagrange functional to characterize the critical points…

In this work we generalize the concept of product by generators to the class of solvable Lie algebras. We analyze the number of invariants by the coadjoint representation by means of Maurer-Cartan equations and give some applications to…

This paper develops the notion of implicit Lagrangian systems on Lie algebroids and a Hamilton--Jacobi theory for this type of system. The Lie algebroid framework provides a natural generalization of classical tangent bundle geometry. We…

Euler-Lagrange variational principle is used to obtain analytical and numerical flow relations in cylindrical tubes. The method is based on minimizing the total stress in the flow duct using the fluid constitutive relation between stress…

The Euler-Lagrange equations (EL) are very important in the theoretical description of several physical systems. In this work we have used a simplified form of EL to study one-dimensional motions under the action of a constant force. From…

A Lie algebroid over a manifold is a vector bundle over that manifold whose properties are very similar to those of a tangent bundle. Its dual bundle has properties very similar to those of a cotangent bundle: in the graded algebra of…

The reduction of dimensionality of physical systems, specially in fluid dynamics, leads in many situations to nonlinear ordinary differential equations which have global invariant manifolds with algebraic expressions containing relevant…

The least action principle, through its variational formulation, possesses a finalist aspect. It explicitly appears in the fractional calculus framework, where Euler-Lagrange equations obtained so far violate the causality principle. In…

It is well-known that the equations for a simple fluid can be cast into what is called their Lagrange formulation. We introduce a notion of a generalized Lagrange formulation, which is applicable to a wide variety of systems of partial…

Graded Lagrangian formalism in terms of a Grassmann-graded variational bicomplex on graded manifolds is developed in a very general setting. This formalism provides the comprehensive description of reducible degenerate Lagrangian systems,…

Using the recently developed groupoidal description of Schwinger's picture of Quantum Mechanics, a new approach to Dirac's fundamental question on the role of the Lagrangian in Quantum Mechanics is provided. It is shown that a function…

Motivated by applications in computational anatomy, we consider a second-order problem in the calculus of variations on object manifolds that are acted upon by Lie groups of smooth invertible transformations. This problem leads to solution…

We study variational problems for curves approximated by B-spline curves. We show that, one can obtain discrete Euler-Lagrange equations, for the data describing the approximated curves. Our main application is to the curve completion…

Given a matched pair of Lie groups, we show that the tangent bundle of the matched pair group is isomorphic to the matched pair of the tangent groups. We thus obtain the Euler-Lagrange equations on the trivialized matched pair of tangent…

Every algebraic variety can be regarded as a symplectic manifold being equipped with a Kahler form. Therefore it is natural to study lagrangian geometry of any algebraic variety. We present two basic constructions which can be applied to a…

We study the dynamics of contact mechanical systems on Lie groups that are invariant under a Lie group action. Analogously to standard mechanical systems on Lie groups, existing symmetries allow for reducing the number of equations. Thus,…

A quantum model based on a Euler-Lagrange variational approach is proposed. In analogy with the classical transport, our approach maintain the description of the particle motion in terms of trajectories in a configuration space. Our method…

We derive Euler-Lagrange equations for the topology optimization of decay rate in 3-d lossy optical cavities. This leads to a new class of time-harmonic differential or integro-differential equations, which can be written as nonlinear…

We present a formalisation of the existence and uniqueness theorems of integral curves of vector fields on Banach manifolds in the Lean theorem prover. First, we formalize properties of differential equations on Banach spaces (the…
